Membrane contactor photoreactors

Dialysis - photocatalysis Azrague et al. [91] described a particular type of membrane contactor photoreactor in which a dialysis membrane (used as a contactor) was... 

In particular, our research is addressed to the simultaneous one-step production and separation of phenol by selective oxidation of benzene in a membrane photoreactor using Ti02 as catalyst and a membrane contactor for the separation process. 

The membrane photoreactor built in this study consists of an external lamp placed on a batch reactor containing the aqueous solution with the catalyst in suspension by means of a peristaltic pump the solution is withdrawn from the photocatalytic reactor to a membrane contactor module in which a benzene solution is present as strip phase.
